So regarding type 2 diabetes, what are the three client education a nurse should give a client? so obviously, the first education that a nurse should give should be explain the cause of that type 2 diabetes in a simple way.
00:22
So we know that this is a dysregulation of blood glucose and this is due to a hormone called insulin.
00:55
And in type 2 diabetes patients, those patients actually produce normal amount of insulin but their body failed to respond to insulin.
01:08
So this process is called insulin resistance.
01:11
Resistance, most likely due to the reduced sensitivity of the insulin receptor or the adapter proteins.
01:25
But the bottom line is that the insulin resistance causes the glucose level to go up and down and out of the normal range.
01:37
So this is the cause of type 2 diabetes.
01:40
So the nurse should explain that to the patient.
01:44
The next step indication that the nurse should give is to coach the patient to monitor blood glucose level regularly using a glucose meter.
02:10
So basically a glucometer kit should contain a licit, a glucometer and test strips and and the nurse should coach the patient to learn how to apply the blood glucose measurement by using a glucometer.
02:46
So if a type 2 diabetes patient uses insulin, so usually they need to do a fasting level blood glucose check and also once before bedtime.
03:00
Bedtime.
03:38
So this will keep track of their basal or baseline of the blood glucose level every day and before bed...
